I Hate You.

Chapter Three

Elara"s POV 

I didn't wait for my appointment with the doctor, I headed straight to the parking lot, just as I was about to enter the car, I heard my name, I looked up , I saw Mason walking up to me.

"What do you think you were doing?" He asked with contempt, 

" Huh? I just came here for the monthly check up." I said showing him the notification, he looked at me, like I was lying.

"You shouldn't ever try to spoil the relationship I am trying to build with my wife's family." That word broke me, 

" His wife?" I thought to myself.

"Go home or something, that's what you are good at." He said and stormed off, I stood there I wiped off the tears that tried to slide down, as I got into the car as I turned on the ignition, I drove home lost in thought as my mind took me back to four years ago.

Flashback...

"Hi, how are you? .." I typed into my system when I heard a voice behind me,

"You two are still talking?" I flinched, as I shut down the laptop, only to turn to see Selene, 

I held my chest, as my breath heaved, 

" You scared me...I should really put bells on you so you I can be notified when you snoop around." I said. She gave out a hearty laugh.

This was the weekend before our graduation, " you do know if your mom finds out you are talking to another man even with your betrothed at the other side of the world she would confiscate your devices." She said as she sat on the bed, like I cared, I didn't even know who I was getting married but this was my only escape.

Just before, I stood up as I went to the bathroom to relieve myself.

"Just send a reply.whennhe respond." I told her, or maybe I shouldn't have trusted her to.

He had sent a picture, which she deleted and blocked me, channelling the number and chatting as I am to Mason. 

For months I didn't hear from him, but suddenly,she was getting married. It was heartbreaking to find that the same man I was betrothed to ,was my pen pal but he had fallen deep in love with Selene.

Flash returns....

Now I was living behind her shadows in a loveless marriage I wished I refused when it was offered. I couldn't tell anyone I was a virgin but also a married woman. My ringtone reverberated my thoughts back to reality, I looked at the caller,

"Mom." 

"Why the hell is she calling?" I reluctantly picked up the phone and she said simply.

"Come home this instant." She said simply.

" Mom...can we do this next time...?" I told her but she hung hip immediately, I sighed as I made a U-turn heading to our home.

The ride was quiet, I drove into our house, as I got out of the car heading for the door handle, when I took a deep breath, I got turned the door knob, walking in when a hand from no where landed on my cheeks.

"You ungrateful child!" The sound of the slap echoed like a loud beep, I held the door for support as tears streamed down my eyes.

"You have done nothing but annoy your husband! What were you doing with selene's grandmother?" Her voice echoed in deep disappointment.

I looked at her, a bit shocked.

" Yes I know. Of course your husband called to report you to me! You know your stay in that house is hanging on a thin thread and you keep being stupid as always!" 

I stared at her with hate in my eyes, " Mason called you?"

"Yes...you have refused to give the Lorne family a child. You're so useless...if you think there is a room waiting for you here when he throws you out of his house then think again!!" 

I stood there, with my gaze fixed on her, 

"How is this any of my fault?" I asked but she shot me a death glare then walked off.

Hot tears pricked down my cheeks, hitting the cold floors as I snuffed, bending over to pick my purse from the floor, she blamed me for everything. For the company bankruptcy, for letting Selene steal Mason from me everything and when I was of no used to her, I was discarded like a used paper towel.

.

.

I drove home, it was late already ...I was too broken to home immediately. I roamed the streets of the city before finally heading home.

I walked in, the silence was deafening, wouldn't it hurt to be happy? I walked into the kitchen as I began cooking dinner, I would keep trying until Mason saw me as his wife and not an enemy.

The door opened, as Mason walked in, his eyes fixed on me with disgust, he turned heading upstairs 

"I am preparing dinner..what would you like to take while waiting.." I said as he stopped on his tracks on the stairs. I gulped down as I stepped back then looked up at him.

"You can't serve me " leave my house " or instead " Get lost ." How's that?" He asked through gritted teeth.

Just as he was about to leave , I said breaking the silence.

"Why do you hate me so much? I have done nothing to you but love you." I told him.

He came down, walked towards me but I stepped back, then he tilted his head closer then said,

" Love? A killer of my wife is no love." He spat 

" But I did not..."

" You did nothing? You ungrateful b**ch! You killed Selene to take her place...." I shut him up with a slap..the house froze, I froze as I stared at him with both pain and shock.

Fear gushed down my spine, as I stared in disbelief, "I did not just do that...." I said to myself, as I watched his eyes go bloodshot red.
